Keep in mind we're trying to control TWO issues with the request rules - first, the overrequesting. The second is tougher - we're trying to control an artist being overplayed by accident - two (or more) people in different places requesting the same artist. This is only ever an issue for Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Mike Oldfield, and a handful of others. In my opinion, the request feature should primarily be used to hear NEW music. Not old favorites. If you follow that rule, you're virtually guaranteed to never have a request fail or be delayed. If you want to hear a Yes song for the seventeenth gazillionth time, that's the risk you run.
